== Finnish == === Etymology === onnittelu (“congratulation”) +‎ kortti (“card”) === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈonːitːeluˌkortːi/, [ˈo̞nːit̪ːe̞luˌko̞rt̪ːi] Rhymes: -ortːi Syllabification(key): on‧nit‧te‧lu‧kort‧ti Hyphenation(key): on‧nit‧telu‧kortti === Noun === onnittelukortti greeting card ==== Usage notes ==== In Finnish onnittelukortti is much more frequently used than tervehdyskortti (“greeting card”), whereas in English "greeting card" is much more common than "congratulation card". The Finnish and English terms do not overlap however, however. Seasonal greeting cards, such as Christmas cards are not generally called onnittelukortti as seasons are not regarded as a reason to congratulate someone. Instead, they are named by the season, e.g. joulukortti (“Christmas cards”). ==== Declension ==== === Further reading === “onnittelukortti”, in Kielitoimiston sanakirja [Dictionary of Contemporary Finnish]‎[1] (in Finnish) (online dictionary, continuously updated), Kotimaisten kielten keskuksen verkkojulkaisuja 35, Helsinki: Kotimaisten kielten tutkimuskeskus (Institute for the Languages of Finland), 2004–, retrieved 3 July 2023
